John “The Butcher” Branson earned his nickname and his respect on the streets of NYC servingas the Mafia’s most coveted hitman. However due to his German background The Butchercouldn’t kill his way into becoming one of the prized “Made Man” no matter how many layers ofblood coated his hands. Even with this setback his employers appreciated his dedication to hiscraft enough to trust him with illegal gambling rings giving him the title of an “earner”. His risethrough the ranks caught the eyes of many, in particular FBI agent Gene Ignero. Fueled with thedesire to watch the money pile up before his eyes The Butcher cleaved his way too deep andfound himself face to face with Agent Ignero and 12 counts of murder and illegal gambling. Itwas here that The Butcher’s clients came through reducing his sentence to only 8 years in federal prison in USP Allenwood instead of in a small cell for life. Shamed by the verdict and furious with heinous trial Agent Gene Ignero is making sure that The Butcher isn’t the only one counting the days until his release.Eduardo “Eddie” Jaramillo was born in Medellin Colombia and strives to follow in the giantfootsteps of his father, Ricardo Jaramillo (the right hand of Pablo Escobar). Driven by the desireto surpass his father and make a name on his own Eddie savagely built a reputation amongst theCartel for cutting down anyone who dared cross him regardless of their alleged rank. Theseruthless killings and massive drug trades led a trail of cocaine and blood right to his door.Following the trail and also driven by the desire to prove herself in a field of complacent officersDEA Agent Ariana Pagliery set out and arrested Eddie for smuggling 50 million dollars ofcocaine, murder, and tax evasion. For this DEA agent however, this case was personal. Eddiecarelessly murdered Pagliery’s husband and child in their own home. Enraged by the loss of herfamily Pagliery showed Eddie exactly what police brutality means and how all the power in theworld won’t save you from a mother’s wrath. It was all text book from there, or so Paglierythought, Eddie easily beat all charges except tax evasion sending him to 8 years in USPAllenwood Prison. Disappointed and let down Pagliery realized at that moment there was only one way to deal with someone that deep in the corrupted world of power that is the Cartel. She only needed to wait 8 years. Wait and plot.As fate would have it the two criminal master minds would share a room together. Impressed byeach other’s reputation, both for violence and cunning, the two befriended each other and begindiscussing their future steps. Seeing promise and money in not only the drug trafficking inMiami, but in each other, the two join forces and decide to take the city by storm. Released fromprison before John, Eddie makes his way into Miami preparing his crew for the arrival of theirNew York partner. Eddie covers his bases and gets “La Fantasma” (The Ghost) to approve ofJohn’s partnership. La Fantasma, a woman so powerful that seeing is equated to seeing the faceof death itself, reminds Eddie of where he gets his “power” from and how dangerous the waterhe finds himself in is.Made known to him by an informant in the prison FBI Agent Ignero is made aware of the twocriminal’s new found comradery and sees trouble in the near future. Upon John’s release Igneromakes plans to track him down at a distance and bust John once and for all. It is here where hemeets agent Pagliery. The two decide to team up together to bring these two titans of theunderground out of commission for good.Given the greenlight by La Fantasma, Eddie and John begin to make their moves in the city theonly way they can: taking out those unfortunate enough to have wronged La Fantasma. Due tohis fame in NY John has to find a way to keep the Mafia in the dark about his plans as he knowsthey will find a way to control him. He decides to hit the mob as hard as he knows how in it’swallet. John knows that Miami is home to the mob’s major money launder in Florida, a man bythe name of Jimmy “the Jew” Bernstein. While John begins to target the demons in his pastEddie is left in control of the current tasks at hand. Eddie begins making harsh and rash decisions altering the lives of many of his crew members which now encompass those of John’s posse as well. Appalled by the radical change in leadership tensions begin to rise amongst the gang sparking many internal casualties and deaths. To make matters worse Eddie’s half-sister starts to fall for one of the drug smugglers causing Eddie, who is already over protective, to place a stronger vice on his men and those he works with. The tensions escalate as John returns to find his regime splitting at the seams. John reminds Eddie of their situation the pressure the outside world has placed on them from La Fantasma to Parole officer, and to a pair of overzealous agents steeped in anticipation to see them behind bars or worse. Paralleling their prey the two agents begin to disagree as tension grows higher. Each day that passes is another day of violent killings reminding the two of their past and now current failures. Reliving the death of her family Pagliery cracks and shows Ignero how far she is willing to go to make sure these two are removed from the picture for good.

The agencies try to force their officers to stop embarrassing themselves and their companies. The Cartel enforcers start applying pressure and expect to see results, not a group of chaos and discord. With both sides losing multiple battles and respect neither can afford to lose the final war between four familiar faces with scores to settle.Riddled with bullets, violence, power, and passion how far will someone go to get what theywant and how many bodies will be buried before they achieve it?
